Run the last 7 of your VIN here...

You might have to go back the home page.

If it's the stock HiFi system I would imagine not much. I assume you're keeping the iDrive head unit.

If you have tweeters or small speaker grills on the front two doors near to where the mirrors mount then you have the HI-FI system, if there are no tweeters there then you have the basic 6 speaker system which comes stock.

If you do have the HI-FI system then chances are you wont really make much money from selling them mabye £200 [$250] not including the amp.

From what I understand, probably not much in the USA. I believe all USA F10's have the Hi-Fi as the "base" system. Your best bet is someone wanting to replace a blown speaker.
